Over the past decade, the demand for student housing in the Hatfield Student Village, situated between the Hatfield and Hillcrest campuses of the University of Pretoria, has grown to a point, where the demand greatly overshadows the supply. Local developers, who recognised the need for housing among students, have made great progress in filling this gap. It has come to a point, where the University of Pretoria has the second largest supply of student housing in South Africa, after the University of Cape Town. This study has sought to determine whether there is still development potential for student housing in the Hatfield area, and also to develop a 10-year masterplan for the future development of accommodation in the Hatfield and Hillcrest areas. Prominent development companies in the student-housing industry were contacted; and interviews were conducted with 8 high-ranking individuals in 8 different companies. The interviews determined the developers’ appetites for the further development of student accommodation in an area, which is already highly competitive. Interviews were also conducted with various role-players in Hatfield, such as the CEO of Hatfield CID, as well as prominent Estate Agents working in the area. Further data were collected on the various occupancy levels in the existing student accommodation, in order to determine the need for future development. The results showed that developers have developed the area to supply about 11 315 beds to the market. With 4 178 beds in line to enter the market within the next 5 to 10 years, the supply will be much larger than the demand. Opportunity must be given to the economy to recover; and thereafter, further development of student accommodation must concentrate on providing units for low-income students. A 10-year masterplan, divided into short-, medium- and long-term time periods, provides a potential road-map to follow, for the future of student accommodation in the Hatfield Student Village. The plan elaborates on future development and the type of development, which would ensure a successful student community for the University of Pretoria. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Construction Economics / MSc (Real Estate) / Unrestricted

Thesis (Master of Marketing)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019 / This thesis sought to investigate students’ preferences regarding university accommodation. The object was to identify the aspects and elements of housing that students deemed most desirable. The research also aimed to ascertain which socio-demographic variables might serve as predictors of preference in student housing. The thesis focused on student housing at a university in Cape Town, South Africa. The researcher adopted a stated preference approach, applying direct measurement and conjoint analysis methods to answer the research questions. The study commenced with qualitative exploratory research, including a literature review and focus group interviews with students. This was followed by collection of cross-sectional quantitative data using person-administered, structured questionnaires distributed among students at the university. SPSS software was used to analyse a total of 457 completed questionnaires. The direct measurement results indicated that most students prioritised convenience, safety, cost and privacy when it came to choosing accommodation. The three most important attributes as ranked by respondents were having unlimited free WiFi, the inclusion of a 24-hour computer lab in the building, and 24-hour on-site security. In addition, respondents favoured the presence of a convenience shop/kiosk in the residence, followed by sharing showers with students of their own gender, and being within walking distance of campus. Preferences for some but not all the dimensions of accommodation appeared to be influenced by gender, age group and study level. When indicating their willingness to pay (WTP) for a variety of elements relating to accommodation, it emerged that the question of sharing the space in their room – their living and learning space – was very important to the students. The results showed that, apart from having unlimited WiFi and 24-hour on-site security, the aspects for which respondents were prepared to pay most concerned the private space of the individual, e.g. room privacy and room size, as well as having their own toilet and shower. WTP attributes also varied among students according to age group, gender and level of study. Results from the stated preference (conjoint) experiment analysis showed that students were most sensitive about the sharing of ablutions and number of roommates, strongly preferring private rooms and facilities, or sharing with fewer other students. Monthly rent is next most influential, followed by distance from campus. The model also showed significant differences in the preferences of students based on their gender. Research in this field is overdue because, owing to recent increases in the tertiary student population in South Africa, there is a growing shortage of student accommodation. Current and future student housing needs must be assessed, and any such assessment requires a thorough grasp of current student accommodation preferences. The results of this research thus contribute to the knowledge and understanding available to managers and developers of student accommodation regarding students’ requirements and preferences. The findings can serve as a set of guidelines for developers of student housing and as a foundation for formulating associated marketing strategies. Despite the existence of extensive research on student housing, few studies have focused on the preferences of students in developing countries, and even fewer in South Africa. This research seeks to fill this gap by increasing awareness and understanding of students’ preferences with regard to university accommodation.

Bakgrund och problem: Många universitetsorter i Sverige lider av bostadsbrist gällande studentbostäder och utöver detta tycker många fastighetsbolag att det är problematiskt att generera lönsamhet i studentbostadsprojekt. Detta är en studie som undersöker ”problemet” med studentbostäder. Det har identifierats att många bostadsbolag i Sverige tycker att det är svårt att generera lönsamhet i nybyggda studentbostäder. Studien kommer redogöra för vad bostadsbolag anser vara de kritiska faktorerna för att uppnå lönsamhet vid nybyggda studentbostäder och hur dessa bolag opererar för att nå en tillfredsställande avkastning. Syfte: Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka varför det är svårt att uppnå lönsamhet i nybyggnationen av studentbostäder i Sverige. Studien kommer även identifiera vilka faktorer som påverkar lönsamhet i det studerade ämnet. Metod: Författarna har genomfört en kvalitativ fallstudie som bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem bostadsbolag på olika orter i Sverige. Företagen har valts ut för att de är stora aktörer på sin respektive ort som har stor insyn i studentbostadsmarknaden. Studien använder en abduktiv ansats. Slutsats: Det finns inte någon enskild kritisk faktor som skapar lönsamhet i projekt utan det krävs en noggrann avvägning mellan flera faktorer för att lyckas. Förutom att målgruppen (studenter) är en väldigt betalningssvag grupp har studien identifierat ett antal kritiska faktorer som spelar stor roll på lönsamhet hos studentbostäder iSverige. Användandet av diskonteringsmetoder är viktigt för att göra en bra bedömning av investeringar i studentbostäder. Det statliga investeringsstödet är i flera fall avgörande för att få investeringskalkylerna att gå ihop. Studien finner att ränteläget idag är fördelaktigt för att investera, även om avkastningskrav behöver vara hållbara på sikt. Utöver det ökar byggkostnaden per m² och driftkostnader med små studentbostäder. Slutligen gör den stora bostadsbristen i Sverige att flera företag inte använder sig av omfattande känslighetsanalyser men vikten av riskanalyser ökar med att bristen på bostäder minskar. / Background: Many cities with universities in Sweden are experiencing a shortage of student housing and at the same time many property builders have a hard time achieving profitability when building student housing. This thesis studies the problem with student housing. Many real estate companies have expressed that they have a hard time achieving profitability in newly built student accommodation. This study will make clear for what property builders think are the most important factors when building as well as how these companies work to reach a satisfying yield on their investments when building student accommodation. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study why it is hard to achieve profitability in newly constructed student accommodation in Sweden. This thesis will also identify which factors that affect profitability in the chosen subject. Method: The authors have done a qualitative case study built on semi-structured interviews with five different property owners in different cities in Sweden. The companies have been chosen because they are well established at their respective city and have knowledge and experience within student housing. This study uses an abductive approach. Conclusion: This thesis concludes in that there is no single factor that leads to profitability in student housing projects but rather that a careful balance between several factors are needed to succeed. Except that students are a low incomedemographic with a low willingness to pay, the study has found several critical factors that affect profitability in building student housing. The use of discount methods is important when it comes to capital budgeting as well as the governmental investment subsidy put in place by the government. The investment subsidy is in many cases important to be able to achieve profitability in certain projects. The current interest rate makes borrowing money which facilitates investments even if an investments yield has to be sustainable over a longer period of time. Furthermore building costs increase per m² when building smaller apartments such as student accommodation. Lastly, the large shortage of housing in Sweden leads to that many companies disregard using a sensitivity analysis in projects but the importance of risk analysis increases with the increased availability of housing.

I universitetsstäder måste det finnas möjlighet för studenter att bo, ofta brukar det finnas speciella studentbostäder. Tidigare forskning har visat att studenter koncentrerar sig till vissa platser vilket kan leda till en nedgång av ett bostadsområdes skick, så kallad studentifiering. I denna fallstudie undersöks hur studenter väljer bostad samt hur de upplever sina respektive bostadsområden. För att få svar på detta har en kvantitativ metod använts, en enkät har delats ut till studenter i Uppsala, villkoret har varit att de hade Uppsala som studieort (i motsats till distansstudier). Agens diskuteras, något som kan påverka val av bostad, men är svårt att kvantifiera. Resultaten tyder på att det inte finns samband mellan studenters bakgrund och bosättningsmönster, men ger inga entydiga svar. Det kan däremot finnas olika studentkulturer som koncentreras till lokala studentbostadsområden. Vilka kriterier studenterna har vid val av bostad bekräftar tidigare forskning.

I’ve chosen a subject that's close to my heart, as a student who has experiences the need of a change in the traditional student living.I've focused my theses on finding the key ingredients for improving an individuals time as a student. In a time when students are struggling to find accommodation that fulfills the need of being close to university, close to social places, adequate size and affordable. This is close to impossible! This is not just a problem in Stockholm but an international dilemma. The heart of my thesis is, how can we create clever ways of student accommodation with emphasis on community and a more sustainable way of living? Only when we start embracing change and by breaking out of our traditional individual living, can we then start to realise and recognise the benefits of working, studying and living together. My key answer to the problem is "The student habitat”- a small and interactive community where students can live, interact and socialize. By implementing an academic community that's integrated in our living space, can we then form an added value and acceptance in small size accommodation. Smaller living area, but a greater social interacting platform. This solution would result in improved relation with other students, improved teamwork, better integration with students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, improved academic achievement and better motivation. / Jag har valt ett ämne som ligger nära mitt hjärta, som en student som har upplever behov av en förändring i den traditionella eleven bor. Jag har fokuserat mina teser om fi ENDE de viktigaste ingredienserna för att förbättra en individ tid som student. I en tid när eleverna kämpar för att fi nna boende som ful fi lls behovet av att vara nära universitetet, nära till sociala platser, tillräcklig storlek och prisvärd. Det är nästan omöjligt! Detta är inte bara ett problem i Stockholm, men ett internationellt dilemma. Hjärtat i min avhandling är, hur kan vi skapa smarta sätt för studentbostäder med betoning på gemenskap och ett mer hållbart sätt att leva? Först när vi börjar omfamna förändring och genom att bryta ut ur vår traditionella individuella levande, kan vi sedan börja inse och erkänna de bene fi ts att arbeta, studera och leva tillsammans. Min nyckel svar på problemet är "Studenten livsmiljö" - en liten och interaktiv community där studenter kan leva, interagera och umgås. Genom att implementera en akademisk gemenskap som är integrerat i vårt livsrum, kan vi sedan bilda ett mervärde och acceptans i liten storlek boende. Mindre vardagsrum, men en större social samverkande plattform. Denna lösning skulle resultera i bättre relation med andra studenter, bättre lagarbete, bättre integration med elever från olika socioekonomiska bakgrunder, förbättrad akademisk prestation och bättre motivation.

In the context of the current energy transition and sustainable development, the promotion of waste separation and waste management is a good means of promoting the energy transition. Waste, when recycled, can contribute to the energy transition in many ways, for example by generating electricity, heating, recycling into raw materials for reuse and producing biofuels. In the process, fossil fuels and overall energy use can be reduced. Sweden is a country with excellent waste management. However, with the current increasing number of university students, many student residences with characteristics that make them isolated from the local community and difficult to manage are emerging. This study was carried out in Visby, Gotland, Sweden. It explored the waste sorting behaviour of students in student accommodation and the extent to which students have knowledge about waste sorting in relation to the energy transition. At the same time, the study attempts to dataset student waste sorting behaviour and knowledge of waste sorting and energy transition, and to find whether there is a relationship between these two variables. The study uses a survey method, and the results are analysed using both qualitative and Pearson’s Correlation test. It was found that the current waste sorting behaviour of students in student accommodation is not very good. This is related to a number of factors, such as whether the students have completed their pre-university studies in Sweden and the students' academic qualifications. According to the survey, the three factors that students think affect their waste sorting behaviour are the benefits of sorting waste, food waste needs to be sorted in special bags and it is difficult to get used to the complex waste sorting system in Sweden. The largest number of respondents felt that it would help them to be more diligent in sorting their waste if waste sorting initiatives could be set up in student residences. The research found a moderate correlation between the waste sorting behaviour of students at Visby and knowledge related to waste sorting and energy transition.

Thesis (MPA (Geography and Environmental Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLSI ABSTRACT: Students are very diverse and mobile population group who are present across the globe. Higher education institutions do not provide sufficient accommodation for students and therefore they need to depend on the private sector for alternative accommodation. The influx of students into neighbourhoods has been coined as studentification and this has various positive and negative impacts on neighbourhood structure. Stellenbosch is classified as a university town with a student population of 15 000 and the University of Stellenbosch only provides accommodation for half of its students. The students that can not be accommodated by the university have to turn to the private sector for accommodation. Die Weides and Simonswyk are neighbourhoods adjacent to campus and have fallen pray to studentification because of a high influx of students which led to an increase in population and physical density. The studentification in Die Weides and Simonswyk has various social, cultural, economical and physical consequences which creates challenges for the spatial planning of these neighbourhoods. A qualitative and quantitative approach has been used for this study. The literature study focusses on the following aspects: studentification and its dimensions; neighbourhood quality; two types of student housing; and the role that public policy has to fulfill in student housing regulation. Furthermore, the student accommodation policy of Stellenbosch Municipality and the densification policy is discussed to get an understanding of the current situation in Die Weides and Simonswyk and what future developments may occur. Property sales in Die Weides and Simonswyk over the past 16 years were analyzed to determine the level of property change that has occurred. Surveys amongst students and permanent residents within Die Weides and Simonswyk have been conducted to determine the degree of studentification that has occurred within the neigbourhoods. The accommodation policy for students which has been approved by the Stellenbosch Council, is a commendable initiative to try and regulate studentification. The policy only focusses on future student accommodation and the regulation thereof, however the policy is unclear on how current existing student accommodation should be dealt with. The valuation of property transactions in the two neighbourhoods shows that it is the utility and demand which is the main factors for property values and changes that occur. It has been found that student housing affects the neighbourhood in a negative manner and that it also decreases the neighbourhood quality. Negative social, physical and cultural consequences are experienced within these neighbourhoods, resulting in issues such as noise, traffic, high density and the loss of neigbourhood characteristics. Within Die Weides and Simonswyk there is a lack of social cohesion between the permanent residents and the students and neither of the two parties are attempting to get to know each other. Studentification offers several challenges for the development and implementation of public policy and spatial planning at regional and international level. Urgent attention needs to be given to more sustainable integration of student accommodation in Stellenbosch. Communication and willingness to co-operate between all relevant parties, will determine whether studentification can be regulated in a successful manner in Stellenbosch. The growth of the student population is inevitable and the presence of student accommodation in the town's neighborhoods will continue to increase. Public policy and the role that it should play in regulating studentification should be reviewed in Stellenbosch. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Studente is ‘n diverse en mobiele bevolkingsgroep wat regoor die wêreld voorkom. Hoër onderwys instansies voorsien selde voldoende akkommodasie aan studentebevolkings en dit forseer studente om alternatiewe akkommodasie te bekom in die privaat sektor. Die invloei van studente in buurte en binnestedelike woongebiede word gekenmerk met die term studentifikasie wat verskeie positiewe en negatiewe gevolge in hou vir die struktuur van woonbuurte. Stellenbosch word beskou as ‘n universiteitsdorp met ‘n studentebevolking van ongeveer 15 000 en die Universiteit van Stellenbosch bied akkommodasie aan die helfte van sy studente. Oorblywende studente moet dus die privaatsektor betree vir alternatiewe akkommodasie om ook in Stellenbosch te kan resideer. Die Weides en Simonswyk is woonbuurte neweliggend aan die kampus en is ’n teiken vir studentifikasie deur ‘n toevloei van studente en die gevolglike bevolkingsdruk wat na verdigting (mense en geboue) lei. Die studentifikasie van Die Weides en Simonswyk het verskeie sosiale, kulturele, fisiese en ekonomiese impakte en dit skep uitdagings vir die ruimtelike beplanning van die woonbuurte. Die studie volg beide kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe navorsingsbenaderings. Die literatuuroorsig fokus op studentifikasie en die dimensies daarvan, woonbuurtkwaliteit, twee tipes studentebehusing en die rol wat openbare beleid kan speel in studentebehuising regulasie. Stellenbosch munisipaliteit se studente akkommodasiebeleid en verdigtingsraamwerk word bespreek om agtergrond te kry oor die huidige situasie in Die Weides en Simonswyk en watter toekomstige ontwikkelings mag voorkom. Eiendomsverkope in Die Weides en Simonswyk oor die afgelope 16 jaar is ontleed om die vlak van eiendomsverandering te bepaal en meningsopnames onder studente en permanente inwoners in Die Weides en Simonswyk is gedoen om te bepaal wat die werklike omvang van studentifikasie is in die buurt. Die akkommodasiebeleid vir studente wat deur die Stellenbosch Stadsraad goed gekeur is, is ‘n prysenswaardige inisiatief om studentifikasie te probeer reguleer. Die beleid fokus egter net op toekomstige studentebehuising, die regulasie daarvan en die beleid is nie duidelik oor hoe reeds gevestigde studentebehuising aangespreek gaan word nie. Die waardebepaling van eiendomstransaksies in die twee buurte toon dat die nut en vraag die hoof rolle speel in die eiendomswaardes en verandering wat voorkom. Daar is bevind dat die teenwoordigheid van studentebehuising in woonbuurte grootliks negatiewe impakte het en dat dit woonbuurtkwaliteit verlaag. Negatiewe sosiale, fisiese en kulturele gevolge word in buurte ondervind, met kwessies soos geraas, verkeersdruk, oorskryde drakapasiteit en verlore woonbuurtkarakter is die manifestasies daarvan. Daar is nie ‘n sterk sosiale band tussen studente en permanente inwoners in Die Weides en Simonswyk nie en beide partye wend nie veel pogings aan om mekaar beter te leer ken nie. Studentifikasie bied verskeie uitdagings vir die ontwikkeling en toepassing van openbare beleid en ruimtelike beplanning op internasionaal en plaaslike vlak. Aandag moet dringend aan die meer volhoubare integrasie van studentebehuising in Stellenbosch gegee word. Kommunikasie en bereidwilligheid vir samewerking tussen alle rolspelers sal bepaal of studentifikasie in Stellenbosch op ‘n suksesvolle manier gereguleer kan word. Die groei van die studentebevolking is onvermydelik en die voorkoms van studentebehuising in die dorp se leefruimtes en woonbuurte sal in Stellenbosch toeneem. Openbare beleid en die rol wat dit moet speel in die regulering van studentifikasie sal onverwyld hersien moet word in Stellenbosch.
